Does Hades 2 run on Steam Deck? Supergiant Games\/ValveHades 2 has finally landed on Steam in early access, gaining massive amounts of fanfare with its initial release. Even without a full release date announced, thousands have already jumped in to go hands-on with Supergiant\u2019s latest. During its technical test, developers, Supergiant, stated on the Hades 2 Steam page that it could either be run on Windows or SteamOS. Making it seem Supergiant Games had always intended for Hades 2 to be Steam Deck compatible. Surprisingly, Hades 2\u2019s early access release also coincided with the first Hades getting a Steam Deck verification. Can you play Hades 2 on Steam Deck? Hades 2 feels like it was meant to be on Steam Deck. The game runs perfectly out of the box, even at higher resolutions. Developers Supergiant Games have been quite proactive in ensuring the game is verified on Valve\u2019s handheld. The original Hades has often been seen on most played lists since the handheld landed. Despite the game launching in early access, it\u2019s already got the coveted green tick from Big Gabe. However, verified or not, these things can sometimes be misleading. We\u2019ve put the game through its paces on our modified Steam Deck. It sports a DeckHD screen, meaning that Hades 2 is defaulting to 1200p, rather than the native 800p on the LCD and OLED models. Even on high settings, the game sticks to that 60FPS nearly all the time. If there are stutters or drops, we never felt them during gameplay. Best Hades 2 settings for Steam Deck There\u2019s no real reason to tinker with the game, not that it gives you much freedom. The in-game settings are quite barren, offering the choice of preset and resolution. However, here are our best settings for the Steam Deck: Preset: High – Resolution: 1280\u00d7800 (1200 on DeckHD) – Hades 2 plays devilishly into the Steam Deck\u2019s strengths. Not only does it work perfectly out the box, but it\u2019s incredibly easy to put down at any time. Since getting the game at launch, we\u2019ve played a good chunk of the 30 hours tallied on the Steam Deck. Not once have we lost progress due to putting the game in sleep mode. The only close call was the battery hitting 2% after a miserable ending to a run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
